I am looking for the cordinating color for trim to go with Goats Beard. Thanks, Trish... Please email me if you do...the old colors have been stopped and now Lowes has new colors for Martha Stewart Paints but I've already started my kitchen in this one. I love it!

I especially got a kick out of the boy's responses to the whole painting thing. LOL - I can just see mine doing the same. Cole What fun!

Easy to fix, easy to change if you feel you can't live with the color that looked so good on that tiny little chip when you got a whole room of it! Don't fret, each one you picked are great choices, calm, soothing to the soul, so you'll be good no matter which you end up with. I do like the name of "stained glass" though.

My best advice? Which is morelikely to happen first - new bedding or a new paint job? If she wants cheery color, I say go for cheery color and get some accent pillows/pieces to tie it all together.

It feels like the tropics year round, which is truly a compliment since she lives in Columbus, Ohio. It is very soothing and calm and a joy to visit. Food for thought. And worse comes to worse, you can paint again.

You're living where I want to live--the mountains! Although I'm right next door in VA, I'm close to DC. Okay, my opinion on the colors for Princess's room... since the bedding is dark and earthy in color, my choice would be the Titan blue or even the lighter one above that--the color her finger is on. Those colors would represent the sky which would be a good background for the bedding. The purple doesn't make as much sense and wouldn't be as soothing to the soul. ...Just my two cents...

I was nervous, so I asked a decorator if that was OK. Her comment- "She's a child, let her do what she wants in her room". Best advice ever. Don't worry.

It would still be a calming color, but it would go 'with' the bedding rather than clashing 'against' it. But, hey, that's just my opinion. Princess needs what will make her happy! :mrgreen: Though I think the Titan Blue is quite pretty, with the bedding she’s chosen, I think a soft sage green would be more complimentary to it.
